May 15, 2004: August Releases

Steve Jackson Games is pleased to announce the following releases for August, 2004:

GURPS Basic Set: Characters
With GURPS, you can be anyone you want -- an elf hero fighting
for the forces of good, a shadowy femme fatale on a deep-cover
mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword
in his hand and a beautiful woman by his side . . . or literally
anything else! GURPS has been the premiere universal
roleplaying game for almost two decades. The new Fourth Edition makes
it even better!

GURPS Basic Set: Characters combines information from the
Third Edition GURPS Basic Set
and GURPS Compendium I, plus hundreds of new and
updated rules! This 336-page, full-color hardcover contains
everything you need to create and play a GURPS
Fourth Edition character.

336 pages. Hardback.
Stock #01-0001,
ISBN 1-55634-729-4.
$39.95.

GURPS Basic Set: Campaigns
With GURPS, you can be anyone you want -- an elf hero fighting
for the forces of good, a shadowy femme fatale on a deep-cover
mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword
in his hand and a beautiful woman by his side . . . or literally
anything else! GURPS has been the premiere universal
roleplaying game for almost two decades. The new Fourth Edition makes
it even better!

GURPS Basic Set: Campaigns combines information from the
Third Edition GURPS Basic Set
and GURPS Compendium II -- plus our new core
setting, with infinite possibilities for timeline-hopping adventure!
(You don't have to play in the core setting -- there isn't
some game-altering metaplot -- but it's there if you want it.) This
240-page, full-color hardcover contains everything a GM needs
to create and run a GURPS Fourth Edition campaign.

Frag is a computer game without a computer. It's a "first-person shooter" on a tabletop. Move your fighter and frag your foes; draw cards for weapons, armor, and gadgets; move through the blood spatters to restore your own health! If you die, you respawn and come back shooting!

Easy to learn, fast-moving, fun . . . two supplements are already out, and more are coming!

Boxed game with cards and color game map.
Stock #1339,
ISBN 1-55634-651-4.
$29.95.

GURPS LiteGURPS Lite is a 32-page distillation of the basic
GURPS rules. It covers the essentials of character creation,
combat, success rolls, magic, adventuring, and game mastering for
GURPS Fourth Edition.

The purpose of GURPS Lite is to help GMs bring new
players into the game, without frightening them with the full
GURPS Basic
Set and a stack of worldbooks! With GURPS Lite, you
can show your players just how simple GURPS really is.

We'll have printed copies of GURPS Lite available at
your local game store and in Warehouse 23 -- and it's included in the
GURPS GM's Screen -- or you can download a FREE electronic version from
e23.
